Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Perfect execution, akin to the Europe '72 version in terms of precision, Kreutzzman is all over the kit. Fiery Garcia licks reaching incredible peaks

Oh my, the band interplay is absolutely top notch and so mature. Ultimate boogie-gusto, Jerry givin' his all and singin' with soul. Great shit.

This blew my mind at the movies, the vocal jam at the end was insane on the big screen

The Other One
May 7, 1970
DuPont Gym - MIT

Under the radar, psychedelic masterpiece. frantically intense and brimming with energy; primally fierce. MIT students having their minds-melted, you can hear their reactions on tape. The Dead are all about keeping you on the edge of your seat, threading the needle through some intense musical territories.
Hey Jude Finale

Sullivan Stadium

Yep best ever. Dear Mr. Fantasy -> Hey Jude, no question the most perfectly executed version ever played. Off the charts energy, riveting jamming, mind-melting last minute transition on Garcia's part, the group-mind is as present here as it ever was.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

This might be my favorite ever Lovelight. I've never heard one executed this perfectly while taking ridiculous edge of your seat, hold the hell on musical chances, chances that happen to be incredibly complex, interplay on this one is absolutely mindbending. This is a Lovelight straight out of the wild west; gunslinger style, no doubt.
